Calm Posted December 4, 2016 Posted December 4, 2016 "Not controversial"? Or do you mean it is controversial? Because it is for some: http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20161128-the-controversy-behind-disneys-groundbreaking-new-princess Though I think Schlussel has watched way too many traditional Disney movies and played with way too many Barbie dolls if she thinks this "princess" looks in the least unfit. And another issue with the merchandising: http://variety.com/2016/film/news/moana-halloween-costume-controversy-disney-brownface-1201864968/ Now Maui is a bigger problem: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jun/27/disney-depiction-of-obese-polynesian-god-in-film-moana-sparks-anger And depicting a revered divine figure as a "buffoon" and "braggart" wasn't appreciated either. And then there are those who disagree with them: http://moviepilot.com/posts/3985660
